Event Description

On June 8, 2013, the Albuquerque-based project, One Million Bones, culminated in a three-day event on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. After five years of work, 1,018,000 bones were laid out in front of the U.S. Capitol as a visible petition against ongoing genocides and mass atrocities. On May 4th, the One Million Bones team is releasing a short film that captures the project and the National Mall event to honor the over 150,000 participants from around the world who participated in making the project happen. The film will be screened at the Guild Cinema as a thank you to our community in Albuquerque, which supported the project from the beginning.

Shot and directed by the Emmy-award winning team at Elephant Rider Productions, the One Million Bones film captures survivors, students and participants. It follows the project from Seattle to New Orleans, from Albuquerque to New York, and from other places around the country to end up, with the bones and thousands of volunteers, on the National Mall.
